Fayetteville resident Markice Jasper was sentenced to more than 6 years in prison for child pornography, according to the office of U.S. Attorney Kenneth Elser.

In February 2015, law enforcement got a tip about an image of child pornography being uploaded to Instagram by a Fayetteville resident, according to Elser's office. That tip lead to a search warrant, where officials talked to Jasper, who admitted to downloading and viewing child pornography, according to Elser's office.

Officials seized computers and hard drives, and found hundreds of videos and images of child pornography, according to Elser's office.
